The Chromecast's media universe just got a little bit larger today. You can now stream Rdio's music service through the Google TV adapter using Android, iOS and web apps; you'll get both album art and track details when you send tunes to the big...
Rdio just updated its mobile apps for iOS and Android with support for Chromecast, letting users listen to the music service on any TV connected to Google's $35 streaming device. The large-screen interface is very basic, but that's probably a good thing in this case. It puts album artwork front and center, with Rdio's signature blur effect filling out the background.

But if you've got a powerful sound system hooked up to your HDTV, it just got a bit easier to pump Rdio through those speakers. Chromecast...

It works with an accompanying app to show instant readings and if the temperature is climbing or falling. The Thermodo is...
